Lehigh Valley Tech

This month is all about big data from little things. Paul and Thomas will show how they used open source tools to model and learn from data streamed from IoT devices. If you're interested in big data, machine learning, or leveraging data from multiple sensors and devices - this is the meetup for you. Schedule - 6:30pm - Food / Networking - 7:00pm - Best Mode Quotient - Edge to AI - 8:30pm - Q&A / Wrap-up Best Mode Quotient - Edge to AI Perceived fatigue has been established to be an important part of performance prediction and injury prevention for athletes. Using open source technology, we set out to try and model perceived amount of fatigue (a.k.a. Best Mode Quotient) using data from IoT devices and launching ephemeral machine learning models in the cloud. Cloudera and Hortonworks have recently merged to create an open source leader that combines the best-of-breed big data technologies in the data flow, machine learning and AI space. During this meetup, you will learn how to leverage Cloudera’s suite of tools (Nifi, Spark, CDSW and Cloudbreak) for Edge to AI hybrid infrastructures. Speakers: Paul has been playing with large amounts of data since the beginning of his career in France. Local resident of Philadelphia since 2008, he was always interested in learning about the latest technologies and their implications in our daily lives. With this technical expertise, he worked as an architect and technology evangelist for companies big and small. He now is a part of the Solution Engineering team at Cloudera and leads the Future of Data group in Philadelphia.

The event will feature some of the region’s most innovative companies and most entrepreneurial students. During the early segment of the event, large and small Lehigh Valley companies will be showcasing their newest, most innovative products. Later, students from colleges across the Lehigh Valley will compete in the 3rd Annual LV Collegiate Business Pitch Summit. Up to ten colleges from the region will send a team to compete for $3,000+ in prize money. Bonded together with networking, the Lehigh Valley Innovation and Collegiate Business Pitch Summit will give you an inside look at the present and future of the Lehigh Valley economy.
